It didn’t come easily, but Roger Huerta lived up to his reputation for excitement, going to the third round before defeating Chad Hinton via kneebar submission in his Bellator debut at the Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, Fla.
The end came at 56 seconds of the round after a spectacular, athletic move by Huerta. Hinton had Huerta’s back in a standing position. Huerta did a forward roll, taking Hinton with him, and he ended up on top of Hinton’s chest. Huerta grabbed Hinton’s free leg and applied a kneebar for the finish.
